EQUALIZ (EQUALIZer)
In this mode, you can adjust the settings for the Equalizer.
An Equalizer is used to adjust the tonal quality. Th
e built-in Equalizer consists of 3
bands and Tone Control. With the 3 bands ranging bass to treble, you can boost or
cut any of them.
To locate this mode:
1. From either of the PLAY screen, touch the [MENU/EXIT] button. Menu A will display.
2. Touch the [PAGE

] button twice. Menu C will display.
3. Touch the [2] EQUALIZ button.
TONE CONTROL
Th is models the “screw-set” tone control that was present on the preamp inside of
the B-3/C-3/A-100. It gently cuts the treble.
Th
e setting range is -9 to +9, and it becomes neutral when set at “0”.
NOTE: On the A-162, this can also be used to boost the treble as well as cut it.
“-1” corresponds to the maximum of the B-3/C-3/A-100 tone control, “-5”, the
middle, “-9” the minimum.
GAIN - BASS
GAIN - MIDDLE
GAIN - TREBLE
Th ese are for doing the Boost / Cut of Bass, Middle and Treble respectively. Th e set-
ting range is -9 to +9. “0” is a neutral setting.
FREQUENCY - MIDDLE
Th is is for setting the Central Frequency to vary at Gain - Middle (#3).
Th e setting range is 480 Hz - 2.9 Hz.
TONE - ASSIGN
Th is sets the function to assign the parameter of each gain: either Bass, Middle or
Treble, and tone control to the [TONE] knob. You can change this while playing.
NOTE: This parameter (6) is a Global Parameter. It is recorded when the value is set. Also, it
is common at each Preset.

THE EFFECTIVE USE OF THE MIDDLE FREQUENCY
The frequency response of the horn rotor in the
Leslie speaker is not fl at. It has a peak from 1 kHz
to 3 kHz that is another component of the classic
Hammond Sound.
When you play this organ without a Leslie speaker,
you can get a similar eff ect by setting the FRE-
QUENCY - MIDDLE to about 2 kHz, and the GAIN
- MIDDLE to “+”.
PRESET PARAMETERS
Equalizer is a Preset Parameter, designed to ac-
tively use as one of the tone-making parameters.
However, you may not want the Equalization to
change when you are switching Presets. In this
case, if you set the P. LOAD RV/EQ switch in the
PRESET function mode to “OFF,” the Equalizer value
does not change when the preset is recalled. (P. 64)
THE EFFECTIVE USE OF THE TONE
If the organ is in a large room, greater clarity of
sound can be achieved by using the [TONE] con-
trol to boost the TREBLE. Otherwise the sound
may be indistinct or “muddy.”
